I work for an NP who owns a men's clinic. We have an MD come in very rarely. (He sees maybe 5-8 patients a month.) The NP is not in network with most insurance companies and I have been told to bill under the MD for all claims that she is out of network. Also, all claims for the day go under the MD if he is in the office for even 5 minutes and doesn't see any patients. Most of these patients have NEVER seen the MD and yet all of their claims are submitted with his NPI. I'm almost positive that this is fraud. Do you have any documentation to back me up? And how would you go about approaching this? I've already told her that I don't think it's correct and that I don't really feel right about it. She assured me that she "checked into it" and my job is to make sure she is getting paid.
Also, we mainly do testosterone injections. 95% of our claims look like this.99214- 25 modifier, 96372, and J1080 or J1070. Is she misusing the 25 modifier in order to get paid more? If it's a routine injection, shouldn't we leave off the modifier?
IF this is fraudulent, am I required to report it? Can I be held responsible? I'm not certified yet, but take my CPC on the 19th and want to make sure everything is in order.
Thank you in advance for your help!
